Being as in love with you as I am…

by Bonnie Pockley

Valentine’s day? I don’t need a date to remind me of my love for you. It is ever-present, ever-ready, always there. You are the face I look for in a crowd of strangers, the smile I seek and savour, the arm around my shoulder, the knock I wait for at my door. You are my partner, my lover, my best friend, my future – a way to coexist as one half of the other.
